weekend warrior

So the weekend is over and I'm back at work, drinking my coffee and getting the feel of my professional surroundings once again. The weekend was blissfully uneventful insofar as I did not go anywhere or "do" anything. I was basically the babydaddy all weekend which is nice and tiring at the same time. On the weekends I get a slight taste of what Andrea does all day every day and so learn to appreciate even more that she is able to stay home with Felix.

Not that nothing happened, it was actually a weekend rife with activity and circumstance.
A) Dad came up on Thursday night to help me do some emergency plumbing (no, not radiateors again, NEVER AGAIN) on the kitchen sink which had essentially completely fallen apart both top and bottom in the course of a day. Technically not the weekend, but it was close enough.
B) Mom and dad stopped by to drop off some clothes for Felix (a big bag from Dave and Anne, THANKYOU!) since he's outgrown just about everything. I think he's going to be not just a big kid, but possibly a tall kid. We think Andrea might have some tall genes we don't know about.
C) Sunday night when Andrea's dad stopped by to visit us (Felix) for dinner he brought apple pie. Unfortunately Felix was so congested and it was "that time of day" so he was pretty crabby and not very excited to see anyone, so grampa only got to hold and bounce and dote in Felix for about half of the time he was there. And his drivers side window got smashed in while his car was parked on our street. While helping him sweep up the window glass, we found what appeared to be a broken glass bottle in his car, so it would seem someone threw a glass bottle from a moving car or otherwise hurled it through his window. I don't think this should really reflect on our neighborhood badly since it was probably someone who does not live here who did this. That's the problem with living in a decent neighborhood surrounded by bad neighborhoods. The people going from one to another bad area tend to fuck it up for everyone. Its like, just because you're an asshole who doesn't have anything and you hate your life doesn't mean you have to make everyone else hate you too, by tagging on houses or smashing windows or doing other property damage. Asshole.

so, hey, just in case this is a popular past time for the local assholes (we got our window smashed a while ago too) make sure you have comprehensive with no glass deductible if you plan on parking on our street after dark. Just a suggestion. Or I can point you to a good glass place that had good turn around. And a drivers side window costs about $220 if you pay out of pocket. They charge your insurance like twice that if you have insurance (which we didn't at the time, we do now!).

Ok, now I'm back to work. It has also been the most uneventful on-call week for me (knock on wood). Only 1 more day to go.
